Discover Hakuichi's Artistry
Hakuichi, located in Kanazawa City in Ishikawa Prefecture — where 99% of Japan's gold leaf is produced — has been a pioneering force in gold leaf artistry since 1975. As a leader in this field, Hakuichi has been crucial in popularizing and preserving this traditional Japanese craft globally.
Kanazawa's fame in gold leaf production is deeply rooted in its artisans' exceptional craftsmanship, characterized by precision and perseverance. In the Edo period, when gold beating was restricted outside Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto, Kanazawa's artisans refined their craft under challenging conditions. This period of adversity ultimately led to the region becoming renowned for its exquisite gold leaf.
With each piece of gold leaf stationery, Hakuichi brings a touch of Kanazawa's elegance to your desk. These products are not merely tools for writing but embody a rich legacy of Japanese artistry. High-quality gold in their stationery transforms every writing experience into a luxurious encounter, making these items highly valued among Japanese traditional crafts and a splendid addition for any stationery enthusiast.
